hey, all. a thought occurred to me recently concerning some of the countries in my ASB ATL. basically, i'm unsure as to what you'd call people from those countries since the names aren't exactly comparable to an OTL country from what i can tell. specifically, i'm wondering about:
any help on this? and feel free to ask your own questions concerning demonyms as well.
- Marrakesh (my first choice for a name-change to Morocco, after the capital city)
- Maghreb (my second choice for a name-change to Morocco)
- Bechuanaland
- Cap Vert (Cape Verde as controlled by France)
- Dahomey
- Hausaland
- Kanem
- Togoland
- Upper Volta
- White Nile Protectorate (in the area of OTL South Sudan)
- Nawabs of the Carnatic (in the area of OTL Karnataka)
- Hatay
- Hejaz
- Maratha (in the area of OTL Maharashtra)
- Muscat and Oman (Omani will be the default, but i'm mainly wondering about the Muscat part, since that has precedence here)
- Nejd (Saudi Arabia)
- Rangoon (in the area of Burma; like Marrakesh above, it's a renamed-after-the-capital-city situation)
- Aden (this one's an informal name since the country itself is "South Arabian Federation" with its capital at Aden)
- Aegean
- Baden
- Danzig
- Charcas (Bolivia--off the top of my head, it's probably a toss-up between Charcan and Charcasan)
- New Granada and Venezuela (like Muscat and Oman, i'm uncertain about which one should be used, and otherwise it's already decided)
- Rio de la Plata
